VACUUM FRYING MACHINE 1. INTRODUCE VACUUM FRYING *Using this technology can produce series of products, for example: The Natural Fruit & Vegetable Crispy Chip, convenient cooked food, meat, marine products, cake, nuts and medicinal herbs. Therefore this technology is named “a frying technology revolution”. 2. PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS *Maintaining the original color, flavor and nutrition of fruits & vegetables. Crispness, no grease, is the favorite food of the young and old. *High fiber, multifold vitamins. Having a good structure for quick rehydration. Free from preservatives, artificial color and flavor. Convenient food, long shelf life (twelve months). 3. RAW MATERIALS Most of fruit and vegetables which are very easy to be obtained and have attractive color, special flavor, more nutrition and low cost are much preferred to produce the crisp chips. Raw materials which can't be processed by traditional frying method, as pineapple, strawberry, cucumber etc. Raw materials used in common are as followed: Fruits: Apple, Pear, Persimmon, Banana, Pineapple, Peach, Mango, Strawberry, Chinese gooseberry, Carambola (star fruit), Muskmelon etc. Vegetables: Onion, Carrot, Sweet potato, Potato, Pumpkin, Okra, Balsam OPERATED PRINCIPLES 1 *GAS fuel Use to heat cooking oil. There Temperature is automatic controller for different products. We set up before. Raw material feed into baskets Open Door of cooking chamber then set baskets in platform (In cooking chamber), and Close all the doors. *That time baskets lift into above heater cooking oil (no contact in cooking oil). When vacuum about 600 – 760 mmHg and Temperature enough are baskets to dip in hot cooking oil. Baskets will lift above heater cooking oil when setting timer is enough the vacuum is Auto relaxing then hatch will open Worker will take baskets then transfer to a centrifuge to make it dry cooking oil When centrifugal products will be transferred to the packing room. 1.
